The Samsung QN80H is a very successful mid-range TV, and in our view that's exactly how it should be seen. Not as a new Neo QLED flagship, but as the first model in Samsung's lineup that gives a clear taste of better picture quality. Full Mini LED backlighting, high brightness, and well-saturated colors mean that for someone moving up from a regular LCD TV the difference can be significant. A huge...

The Hisense UR9S is without a doubt one of the more interesting launches this year, though not necessarily for the reasons the manufacturer emphasizes most. Admittedly, the first RGB Mini LED backlight in both the brand’s history and this series looks impressive in measurements, but in practice the TV’s main strength is simply that it’s well refined. It’s clear Hisense learned from previous models...

The TCL A400 Pro is one of the most interesting lifestyle TVs we've tested so far. And not because it turns the whole idea of the "TV as a picture" upside down. In that regard it does roughly what the competition does: it should look good, blend into the interior, and not be just another black slab in the living room. Its real strength lies elsewhere: in picture quality. It's the first TV of this ...

Sony Bravia 9 II is, without a doubt, one of the most advanced TVs that has ever passed through our editorial office. The Japanese have built a real beast, using a completely new RGB Mini-LED backlight design they call True RGB. But the technology alone is only half the success. Only combined with Sony’s years-refined image processing algorithms did a TV emerge that is closer to the director’s vis...

TCL C8L is undoubtedly one of the most intriguing Mini-LED TVs to come into our lab this year. This model stands out primarily due to its excellent price-to-capability ratio. TCL has accustomed us to aggressive pricing of its screens, but in the case of the C8 series, the manufacturer has managed to push the boundaries even further. For the amount that often allows just the purchase of mid-range m...

The TCL C7L is an incredibly successful Mini-LED television and a fully deserved successor to the hit model C7K. The list of advantages of this device is truly long. At the top is the extremely high brightness of the panel. Thanks to this, the television effortlessly handles brightly lit living rooms, offering an exceptional and dynamic picture in HDR format. Huge praise is also due for the use of...

Hisense U7S Pro is, without a doubt, a successful model, but built for specific tasks. Its absolute domain is bright, sunlit living rooms. Thanks to its massive brightness (over 2200 nits in HDR) and matte panel, during the day you can count on a comfortable picture, without squinting or fighting reflections. This great daytime form goes hand in hand with rich features. You get excellent upscaling...

Dreame S100 is a successful, albeit still somewhat raw, debut in the Mini-LED segment. The hardware of the TV stands up for itself: the Mini-LED technology with local dimming provides deep and attractive blacks for the average viewer, while the IPS/ADS matrix offers brilliant viewing angles. This is an interesting combination, as it is extremely rare in the LCD TV segment, which will certainly ple...

The iFFALCON U85X is a device that draws heavily from the technological solutions of its parent brand, TCL. It is hard not to get the impression that in terms of pure technical parameters, we are dealing with nearly a faithful copy of the successful C6K series (C69K/Q6C), although visually, the designers opted for references to the more budget-friendly P line. This specific combination makes the t...

Sharp JP7765 is another offering in the market that tries to prove that Mini-LED technology doesn’t have to cost a fortune. The low price is matched with an exceptionally high brightness — a peak of 1000 nits in HDR is a result that simply impresses in this price range. Although the proprietary processor doesn’t always manage backlighting perfectly in demanding scenes, support for Dolby Vision eff...
